2 students killed in car crash

Two other students were also injured after their car was t-boned by a truck

CHAMBLISSBURG, Va. — Two Staunton River High School students died in a traffic crash along Virginia 24 on Wednesday morning, authorities said.

They were less than six miles from school and about 20 minutes before the start of their first-period classes. The deadly wreck reverberated throughout the school over the course of the afternoon, a stark punctuation mark for a community all too familiar with traffic-related tragedy.
